I wasn’t expecting to be writing this, but here we are — and I’m honestly excited (and humbled) to serve as your USPSA President for 2025/26.

If I’ve learned anything at USP so far, it’s that uni life isn’t just about lectures and deadlines. It’s about figuring out who we are, making mistakes, making friends, and trying to find a way forward together.

This year, our little team just wants to help make things better — whether that’s by speaking up for students, planning things that bring people together, or just being around when someone needs support. We don’t have all the answers, but we care — and we’ll do our best.

So, if you see us around, say hi. Got ideas? Let’s chat.

“Not every day is perfect, and that’s okay. We’ve got each other.” This is our space — and I hope we can make it one that feels good to be part of.

Let’s make it count.

— Maria Lesi Badrokadroka, USPSA Cook Islands President 2025/2026
